About me

I'm a writer and artist living in St. Helens, Oregon.I write memoir, creative nonfiction, and poetry.I earned a BFA in Sculpture at the University of Houston, in Texas. I draw, create, and do performance art.I've created six art cars, most notably, The Pussy Car, which I drove in Tucson, AZ for four years. (Link to a short documentary about me and the car below.)

Each match represents a conversation.

Match Chat

Match Chat is an interactive performance art piece I've done many times at GLOW: A Nighttime Art Experience. I wear an illuminated welder's helmet with the instructions, "Light Match to Talk." When someone lights a match, I raise the helmet and talk with them about anything!
...until the match goes out.
GLOW happens under the dark skies of the Triangle-L Ranch in Oracle, Arizona during a full moon every fall.I would love to repeat this! Please email me to arrange: [email protected]
